Wow very good effort by both RBR drivers in Q3.

We have Vettel in pole with 1:36.1

and mark Webber in 3rd with 1:36.4 with Alonso splitting them in 2nd.

Lets just hope now that Mark makes it through the first corner without incident.

I liked how in the conference Webber said its good to have Vettel, or the "young guy" pushing him this season.

What is the bet Alonso will be a huge pain in the ass for the RBR guys, and i am guessing is the lightest based on his practice and Q2 pace. SO if Mark cant clear him then he will instantly be back around 5th or 6th as i think the RBR cars are lighter then the Brawns as well and will be jumped in pit stops.

LOL, i dont even need to watch the race, i know what going to happen already:)

But, i would not be surprised if Vettel picks up his second GP win tomorrow with Webz on for a 4th, maybe a podium

Damn missed qualy since it was on so early.

When do they post car weights?

Alonso did time 7 tenths faster in q2 so shouldnt be too light. Hope the new-improved R29 without kers is more competitive.

Great to see RedBull up there :)

Do we have a list of the teams who have already modified their diffusers?

1. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 644kg

2. Fernando Alonso, Renault, 637

3. Mark Webber, Red Bull, 646.5

4. Rubens Barrichello, Brawn GP, 661

5. Jenson Button, Brawn GP, 659

6. Jarno Trulli, Toyota, 664.5

7. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 650.5

8. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari, 673.5

9. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 679

10. Sebastien Buemi, Toro Rosso, 673

11. Nick Heidfeld, BMW Sauber, 679

12. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 697

13. Felipe Massa, Ferrari, 690

14. Kazuki Nakajima, Williams, 682.7

15. Sebastien Bourdais, Toro Rosso, 690

16. Nelson Piquet, Renault, 697.9

17. Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber, 659

18. Adrian Sutil, Force India, 648

19. Timo Glock, Toyota, 652

20. Giancarlo Fisichella, Force India, 679.5

So Vettel has now out quaoified Webber 3-0, if you include fuel its probably 2-1. Old Rubens fuelled heavier but with a better lap looks good for the win if he can get off the line and capitalise on all the mess that will result from Webber going backwards off the line :)

Come on Webber, would so love to see him get a win

Depends where you qualify. If you havea quick car and stuck in traffic then you are losing tenths of not seconds each lap. Throw a light fuel load in, soft tyres and have a go at getting on the front two rows and getting a stormer of a start and try to do a bit of a dash.

If you pit 7 laps into the race you are going to come out at the tail of the field with no traffic to hold you up meaning you can punch out laps as quick as tyre conservation will allow. IF you come up on a car then they will be back markers so easier to pass, and the cars ahead will be peeling off ahead of you. Then at the end of the race your car will be at its quickest and ready to race while everybody else will be carrying a wounded car on shit tyres.

Trust me, i am the supreme son of rajab of strategy :P

Looks exactly like what RBR and Alonso have done.. fuel it light and try to dash away at the start. We'll find out soon if it works for them! My tip is the Brawn cars to menace them until they pit and then leapfrog them after the stops (as you said later). I don't feel that an early pit stop is a good option but I'm happy to be proven wrong!! ;)

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
